'No 87 x 22' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:

In the 1925 Bagatelle contest, this Rose was declared the most important yellow garden Rose, and deemed worthy of the name 'Ville de Paris' for which honor a large cash premium had been posted several years previously -- to be awarded when a Rose good enough for it could be produced. Every French hybridizer competed for that greatest honor -- and purse. After winning it, Monsieur Pernet declared this to be the crowning of his long career, and retired from business. (He died Nov. 23, 1928.)
